Works great to keep fragile objects from falling over
Museum wax is NOT designed to level objects but is instead meant to keep fragile objects, such as vases with small bases, from falling over. In earthquake prone areas, it helps keep small objects from breaking during a quake. In my Museum (I am the Exhibits Specialist in a art museum), we use it on objects that might fall over if someone bumps into the pedestal. We have used it on objects that have been in place for 10 years and the wax is still pliable and easily removed/applied. Read the directions before using.
Quick tip: Use dental floss to separate the object from the pedestal when it has to be removed before trying to pick up the object.
